Kick off your 4th of July celebration with a beautiful run in the mountains. Choose to take a brisk walk with friends, children and pets, or embark on a competitive run on a gently rolling course through neighborhoods inhabited in equal abundance by elk and pine trees in a breathtaking Foothills community just 30 minutes west of Denver. Enjoy lots of post-race fun! The Freedom Run 5-K starts at 8 a.m. at Evergreen Middle School in Evergreen and ends at Nick?s Pro Fitness with awards, refreshments, and a party for participants, families and friends. Well-behaved dogs and strollers are welcome to participate in the walk. Enjoy live music along the route and kid-friendly activities at the finish! Child care is available. Shuttle buses return participants to their cars. The Freedom Run benefits Mt. Evans Home Health & Hospice, and participants are encouraged to collect pledges for the agency.
